Spruiking Yourself to Death
Just finished reading Om Malik this morning. I rather like his take on the developments of the business and technology of Silicon Valley. But I liked him better pre-heart attack, when his world was smaller, when he wrote about things he cared passionately about, and when he didn’t make his posts a lame attempt to promote his own forthcoming events.
Note to those of you who blog: I am already giving you my very precious attention. That should be more than enough. If you spruik mercilessly, you’ll drive me away. And I doubt I’ll be alone.
